There are many “big” things or moments that people experience in their lives. Everyone has different views and opinions about things like love and fear. Here are the views that I most likely share with many of you in the form of quotes from others.
Death
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
-Mark Twain
Birth
“My mother groaned, my father wept, into the dangerous world I leapt.”
-William Blake
Marriage
“Don’t marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can’t live without.”
-James Dobson
Aging
“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.”
-Sophia Loren
Humanity
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
Love
“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
-Dr. Seuss
“Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible – the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.”
-Virginia Satir
Fear
“Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh
